@stufromoz I am definitely not looking forward to scootering either! Them and plovers - bad match made in heaven or hell.

@stufromoz not near my house sadly, but round the lake (Ballarat) - they have! I think coz there's loads of dogs, and kiddies on bikes.

I didn't know what was hitting my head, lucky I had a helmet on!

Here is some baby swans I saw at the lake yesterday. Yes, if you walked the lake yesterday arvo and heard 'hello swans' that'd be me.

Also if you walked the lake and watched someone on a scooter yell obscenities in and around the air, I was swooped by magpies! buggers.

I forget to come on here a lot, sorry.

My friend, who turns out to be a little chonky MAN cat is lost. And his name is Chonky! And yes he's a cat. He's a very friendly and lovely boy.

(I called him MRS chonky for ages but no, boy chonky.)

@decryption I had a biscoff cake recently and I absolutely loved it. Biscoff choccy is a winner!

There is an electric billboard near me and it's really cheap, and I want to put weird ads on it for the sake of it. It's like 0.1c a play or something. "TRAINS: they're back"

"IT'S GONNA RAIN!"

"Don't mow your lawn!" that kind of thing!

@decryption ohhh a passkey

I think I could get it to work with 1password but I'm not game enough to try.

@danielbowen it would be good for infrequent users. I'm the train nerd in our staff. I think a lovely map like this would be brilliant!

Sometimes I get served ads from clients I work for. There's one that I have saved that I can't publish anywhere but internally because they can't follow their advice.

Wahey, my bus driver this morning is listening to Red Dwarf. I haven't got up the courage to say 'love ya book mate'.

They're listening to "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers".

I was like "this book is good, I wonder what it is", then around 1/4 of the way to town i heard the lovely voice of Chris Barrie and went 'Ohhh! Red dwarf!"

Winner.

@decryption I post on it as a laugh, never a brag.

Flipping cold out!

@decryption it would be! My work isn't on there, I swear we had a blood drive going. Must only be in the Melb office.

@decryption I wouldn't have noticed it, my glasses are so bloody filthy!

The internet lately.

@decryption oh, nice, it was an okay day for most of it, just started to wee down now!

Chat GPT helped me write VBA yesterday. So it still took me about an hour to sort my duplicate entries but it did work.

So that's fun!
